Isaiah 34:5-17
English Standard Version
5 For my sword has drunk its fill in the heavens;
behold, it descends for judgment upon (A)Edom,
upon the people (B)I have devoted to destruction.
6 The Lord has a sword; it is sated with blood;
it is gorged with fat,
with the blood of lambs and goats,
with the fat of the kidneys of rams.
(C)For the Lord has a sacrifice in Bozrah,
a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7 (D)Wild oxen shall (E)fall with them,
and (F)young steers with (G)the mighty bulls.
Their land shall drink its fill of blood,
and their soil shall be gorged with fat.
8 (H)For the Lord has a day of vengeance,
a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.
9 (I)And the streams of Edom[a] shall be turned into pitch,
and her soil into sulfur;
her land shall become burning pitch.
10 Night and day (J)it shall not be quenched;
(K)its smoke shall go up forever.
(L)From generation to generation it shall lie waste;
none shall pass through it forever and ever.
11 (M)But the hawk and the porcupine[b] shall possess it,
the owl and the raven shall dwell in it.
(N)He shall stretch the line of (O)confusion[c] over it,
and the plumb line of emptiness.
12 Its nobles—there is no one there to call it a kingdom,
and all its princes shall be nothing.
13 (P)Thorns shall grow over its strongholds,
nettles and thistles in its fortresses.
It shall be the haunt of (Q)jackals,
an abode for ostriches.[d]
14 (R)And wild animals shall meet with hyenas;
the wild goat shall cry to his fellow;
indeed, there the night bird[e] settles
and finds for herself a resting place.
15 There the owl nests and lays
and hatches and gathers her young in her shadow;
indeed, there (S)the hawks are gathered,
each one with her mate.
16 Seek and read from the book of the Lord:
Not one of these shall be missing;
none shall be without her mate.
For the mouth of the Lord has commanded,
and his Spirit has gathered them.
17 (T)He has cast the lot for them;
his hand has portioned it out to them with the line;
they shall possess it forever;
from generation to generation they shall dwell in it.

New American Standard Bible
5 For (A)My sword has drunk its fill in heaven;
Behold it shall descend for judgment upon (B)Edom,
And upon the people whom I have (C)designated for destruction.
6 The sword of the Lord is filled with blood,
It drips with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats,
With the fat of the kidneys of rams.
For the Lord has a sacrifice in (D)Bozrah,
And a great slaughter in the land of (E)Edom.
7 (F)Wild oxen will also [a]fall with them
And (G)young bulls with strong ones;
So their land will be (H)soaked with blood,
And their dust [b]become greasy with fat.
8 For the Lord has a day of (I)vengeance,
A year of retribution for the [c]cause of Zion.
9 [d]Its streams will be turned into pitch,
And its loose earth into (J)brimstone,
And its land will become burning pitch.
10 It will (K)not be extinguished night or day;
Its (L)smoke will go up forever.
From (M)generation to generation it will be desolate;
(N)None will pass through it forever and ever.
11 But [e](O)pelican and hedgehog will possess it,
And [f]owl and raven will dwell in it;
And He will stretch over it the (P)line of [g]desolation
And the [h]plumb line of emptiness.
12 Its nobles—there is (Q)no one there
Whom they may proclaim king—
And all its officials will be (R)nothing.
13 Thorns will come up in its (S)fortified towers,
Weeds and thistles in its fortified cities;
It will also be a haunt of (T)jackals
And a habitat of ostriches.
14 The desert (U)creatures will meet with the [i]wolves,
The [j](V)goat also will cry to its kind.
Yes, the [k]night-bird will settle there
And will find herself a resting place.
15 The tree snake will make its nest and lay eggs there,
And it will hatch and gather them under its [l]protection.
Yes, (W)the [m]hawks will be gathered there,
Every one with its kind.
16 Seek from the (X)book of the Lord, and read:
Not one of these will be missing;
None will lack its mate.
For [n](Y)His mouth has commanded,
And His Spirit has gathered them.
17 He has cast the (Z)lot for them,
And His hand has divided it to them by the (AA)measuring line.
They shall possess it forever;
From (AB)generation to generation they will dwell in it.
